The thoughts of the other three were roughly the same, only Sid's expression was conflicted, because he remembered the name of the Sequence 9 potion, "Corpse Collector," that Mr. Emissary had just mentioned.

Although he also very much wanted to become a Beyonder, inherit the family's glory, revitalize the family, and at the same time gain power to protect the people he cared about.

But honestly, the name of this Sequence 9 potion was indeed a bit difficult to accept, especially after he heard that the Sequence 9 potion Ferren could choose was called "Sailor." The contrast between the two made him even more conflicted.

As the name suggests, a Corpse Collector is someone who prepares bodies for burial. For some Death worshipers in the Southern Continent, this isn't something difficult to accept.

But Port Caesar, where Sid lived, was located on the north side of West Balam in the Southern Continent, west of the Paz River Valley, and was one of the earliest areas colonized by Intis.

After nearly a hundred years of suppression, the faith of the Death had almost no foundation in the local area. So although Sid was a native noble, he didn't worship the Death at all, otherwise he wouldn't be conflicted about whether to accept the Numinous Episcopate's recruitment.

It was a pity Aaron couldn't read his mind, otherwise he would definitely want to affectionately tell him that the Sequence 8 potion name for this Sequence was "Gravedigger," a name that was very much self-explanatory.

Chuck, unable to hide his excitement, spoke, "Respected Mr. Emissary, how long does it take to digest a potion using the Acting Method?"

"When can the acting stop? Is there a standard for judgment?"

Aaron glanced at the four people on the stone chairs below, and seeing the curious and eager expressions on their faces, he nodded slightly.

"At low Sequences, as long as you strictly follow the acting, you can digest the potion in no more than half a year, and the fastest can even be as little as one month."

"As for the standard of measurement, it's very simple. Once it's completely digested, every Beyonder will immediately feel it themselves. It is or it isn't. When you truly become Beyonders, you will understand that feeling."

"One month!" Chuck's face showed an excited expression, and he quickly expressed his gratitude.

Hey, hey, hey, young man, I said at the fastest it's one month. Why are you all so confident? Aaron silently complained in his heart.

Seeing that no one was asking questions, Louise then spoke with anticipation.

"Respected Mr. Emissary, do you know how Sanguine can increase their strength without relying on gifts from elders?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt gazes directed towards her.

Sanguine? Is this the legendary vampire? Sid examined the lady next to him with doubt.

Living in the relatively chaotic Southern Continent, he had heard many rumors about Sanguine, though they were mostly terrifying and bloody, but the lady next to him didn't give him that feeling, which made him question those unreliable rumors again.

As a mixed-blood struggling to survive in the pirate haven of the Berserk Sea, Ferren had never seen a Sanguine and undoubtedly had various beautiful or bizarre imaginations about them, curiously observing the lady.

Sanguine? Chuck was startled at first, then his brows relaxed. He was a former Intis noble, and although he had never truly seen a Sanguine, he knew some inside information and knew it was an extraordinary race. Hmm... this indeed has value for recruiting and alliance, it's truly a secretive gathering, even Sanguine are here.

Watched by so many gazes, Louise suddenly felt a bit flustered. After all, she was just a newly adult Sanguine, lacking in experience and knowledge, but she vaguely understood that she seemed to have asked a question she shouldn't have.

Why are you looking at me? Am I not allowed to have a Sanguine friend? Should I explain a bit...

No, what about being a Sanguine? I am a Sanguine, there's nothing wrong with admitting it! Our Sanguine history is long, our lives are long, our accumulation is rich, we are a noble race!

Louise muttered to herself inwardly, then lightly coughed, indicating that such blatant staring was impolite to a lady.

The three gentlemen around also felt slightly awkward and quickly withdrew their gazes.

Aaron didn't pay attention to the exchanged glances among the people below, and after a slight nod, he replied:

"Sanguine can also take potions to advance, but it must be the corresponding, correct one."

"Or more accurately, as long as you possess the corresponding Beyonder characteristic, and are sure that you have completely digested it, you can apply for advancement within the Sanguine race; you don't need to queue and wait, after all, you obtained this yourself."

Beyonder characteristic? Everyone below except Louise looked confused.

"And Sanguine Beyonder characteristics are extremely rare, most of them are collected by Sanguine to be used as materials for the advancement of clan members or for the cultivation of newborns."

"If you don't want to queue and wait for the opportunity to advance within the Sanguine race, then you have two methods."

"First, travel and search throughout the world. Many large cities and the sea have hidden Beyonder gatherings, perhaps organized by official Beyonders, or possibly by other secretive organizations or pirates."

"At these hidden gatherings, some Sanguine Beyonder characteristics left behind might appear. If you attend these Beyonder gatherings, safety and Concealment are the primary factors, after all, not everyone is as friendly as I am."

"Of course, if you are in a city where many Sanguine live, you won't need to bother searching. Even if there are Sanguine Beyonder characteristics, they would have already been bought. It's more likely to be found at sea."

Aaron reminded her, then couldn't help but remember that there seemed to be a great pirate who possessed a characteristic left behind by a Sanguine baron.

So he added, "Coincidentally, I also have a clue to a Beyonder characteristic left behind by a Sanguine baron, which is the main ingredient for the potion you need to advance to Sequence 6."

"Hmm... If you are interested, I can have someone search for it. However, this will take some time, as my subordinates need to identify the target based on the clue."

Louise, who had been a bit dejected, immediately smiled and eagerly responded, "Yes, Mr. Emissary. I am very interested."

Mr. Emissary is truly a generous and noble person... Louise thought happily to herself.

Aaron smiled and continued:

"The second method is to participate in hunting competitions, but this is very dangerous, especially for Sanguine who have just come of age and haven't mastered high-level combat skills."

Louise puffed out her cheeks, feeling that Mr. Emissary was talking about her and looking down on her.

Then she remembered that she usually liked to gather with her kin and research various potions. It seemed, perhaps, probably, that she had indeed never fought anyone. She couldn't help but lower her head sheepishly.

Aaron didn't notice the change in expression of the Sanguine girl below and continued speaking.

"The essence of these competitions is to hunt down the artificial Sanguine in the Rose School of Thought who worship the Primordial Moon. This can both suppress the faith of the Primordial Moon and recover Sanguine characteristics while cultivating the combat abilities of the younger generation."
